Anything glued to the inside back will eventually become a problem. Either algae that gats a very nice hold onto it, or something else that brings down a piece. leaving a bare patch with just the silicone glue left behind. Eventually it will look cr@p. that is my opinion.

What might look interesting is to have crushed coral glued on the black backing plastic behind the tank.

Other options are always Perspex, Vinyl and ABS...nothing fancy but give a nicer finish than paint I think.

Perspex costs an arm and a leg (yesterday Mayzey's qouted me 470 for a piece 300 x 2 mtr ), On my old tank I had ABS and compared to the paint on my new DT's I personally prefer paint (I used Velvaglo and it gave me a very nice even finish)

Bought myself a 500x500 piece of perspex for my overflow side of the new tank and it cost me R105, not too bad if u getting a small piece but ya its very pricey for larger ones. Vinyl however was cost effective at R53 for a 650x2000 piece. Nothing wrong with paint, just that it doesnt always give u a nice even finish...lol or is that just me
